Still Standing

Boots hit the floor before the sun Another day ain’t done with me No parade, no finish line Just breath in my chest and feet that move

I been bent, I been broke Been the last man in the room Watched plans fall silent Watched faith turn to fumes

I don’t keep score of what I lost I don’t rehearse the pain I just lace up what’s left of me And step back into the rain

Every scar still talks But I don’t slow down to listen

I’m still standing That’s enough for now Didn’t beat the odds Just refused to bow World kept swinging I stayed upright I don’t shine bright I don’t win loud But I’m still standing That counts

I’ve seen loud men fade to dust Soon as the lights went low Seen quiet ones keep moving When there’s nowhere left to go

I don’t need a crowd to feel Like I earned my name I just keep putting weight on my back And walking through the flame

I don’t ask for mercy I just move

I’m still standing That’s enough for now Didn’t beat the odds Just refused to bow World kept swinging I stayed upright I don’t shine bright I don’t win loud But I’m still standing That counts

Some nights I lean heavy Some mornings I stall But gravity never beat me I just learned how to fall

I’m still standing Ask the ground I been tested I been down I don’t preach I don’t brag I just carry what I have If this is all I get to say I’m still standing I’m okay
